fair, union-negotiated wages
Over the years all major
building in B.C. has been
done by union construction

wages

workers have produced some
of the highest quality
construction in Canada

But now anti-union
employers with the
assistance of government
anti-labour legislation are
trying to drive our wages
down They know we are
already facing severely
reduced incomes because of
high unemployment and are
trying to take advantage of it

Low wages will not create
one more job Taking money
out of our pockets might
make anti-union contractors
rich, but the whole economy
stagnates when wages drop
and purchasing power goes
down

Construction workers
aren't the only ones getting a
raw deal. Taxpayers are
paying for union busting

workers who work on
Kerkhoff's projects earn far
less than we do The
government would have been
dollars ahead to accept the
union bid and collect more
income tax from us
So. while the government
loses taxes, anti-union
contractors make excess
profits at public expense
Nevertheless, the
government pursues its anti
union, anti-fair wage policy
for its own political gain
Well, anti-union employers
and governments that try to
drive down our wages and
break our unions can't
expect our co-operation
Our union was built
fighting that kind of
exploitation and we are not
going to stop fighting now
We have no alternative
And we are confident when
the facts are known the
public will support us

“It's well demonstrated
this government is not par-

environment,” said Bob Rich.

The emerging conflict over
